As this thrilling tour begins, your pilot who will also be serving as your tour guide will begin following the world famous Kohala Coast. This region of the Big Island runs from the Kohala Mountains all the way down to where the steep mountain ridges meet the sea. Here, the Kohala Mountains and numerous jungle valleys and waterfalls lay nestled together, making for stunning scenery for any flight passing over them. As an exclusive treat, your pilot will actually land the helicopter at the base of the Laupāhoehoe Nui waterfall so you can stretch your legs and get some amazing pictures.

From Laupāhoehoe Nui your pilot will fly down the coast over the jungles of Hāmākua near Hilo. The thick vegetation of this region stands in sharp contrast to the next stop on the tour which is the world famous Volcanoes National Park. Once over the park, be prepared to see some magnificent examples of the Big Island’s volcanic fury like craters, lava flows, black sand beaches, and the summit of Kilauea.

Be sure to arrive at the Waikōloa Heliport 30-40 minutes before your scheduled departure time to check in.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Reserve Front Row Seats?

Combined front row seat weight must be under 470 lbs and individual passenger weights must be 240 lbs. Should actual weights during check-in exceed any of these limits guests will be accommodated in other seats and a refund will be made for the premium upgrade fee. Front row passengers must occupy their own seats and must be able to refrain from interfering with the pilot and instrumentation. At least one of the front seat occupants must be 15 years of age or older and capable of performing emergency aircraft egress procedures. Lap children cannot be accommodated in the front row. In the event of an emergency front row passengers must be able to receive instructions in English and be physically capable of operating exit doors. Our chair lifts are only able to access the rear row of seats therefore guests requiring a chair lift to board the helicopter cannot be accommodated in the front row.
Can I Take A Tour If I Use A Wheelchair?

All of our bases are wheelchair accessible and ADA compliant. Each base also has a custom built chair lift to assist passengers into the helicopter safely and comfortably. Our chair lifts are able to accommodate passengers up to 250 lbs.
When Is The Best Time To Fly?

We suggest that you book your helicopter flight prior to arrival in Hawaii. This assures you of a tour time that fits into your vacation plans. It’s also wise to book your tour for the early part of your stay. That way if your pilot determines that weather conditions on a particular day are not optimal for a tour, you will have some options for re-scheduling. As far as the best time of day for a helicopter tour, you should primarily consider your personal schedule. Most of the time we are blessed with beautiful weather in Hawaii and the time of day, whether it be morning or afternoon, will make no difference. If we happen to have a rainy weather pattern the pilot will consult weather reports and other pilots who have been flying to determine if we can operate a good tour. Blue Hawaiian does not want to take our guests on a flight unless we are reasonably

What Can I Do To Make Sure I Have A Comfortable And Enjoyable Experience?

Wear solid dark-colored clothing. Our helicopters are temperature controlled so dress comfortably but wear dark clothing. This will cause less reflection in the windows to allow a clear view of all the sights. It will also allow you to take better photos and video without clothing items or light-colored logos or patterns from your clothing reflecting in the photos that you and other guests would like to take of the magnificent scenery. Hats are not allowed to be worn around the helicopters as they can fly up into the rotors and damage the aircraft. We will be happy to hold any hats for you until you return from your tour. If your tour includes a landing, we recommend closed-toed shoes such as athletic shoes. The ground at our remote landing sites can be uneven and sometimes a bit wet. At some landing sites there is a chance to walk around and get the best angle for your photos and videos so closed-toed shoes are best in these remote locations. Also, remember to bring a sweater in case it's chilly. Do not go SCUBA diving within 24 hours or SNUBA 12 hours prior to your tour. You may snorkel or swim prior to your tour and there is no risk in SCUBA or SNUBA after your helicopter tour Bring your camera or cell phone (on airplane mode) to take photos and video of your tour. Even if you plan to purchase our inflight video, you will not want to miss an opportunity to save these memories. Arrive on time to check in. This will make your whole tour experience go more smoothly as we do need to complete a required safety briefing and prepare each passenger prior to the tour. Even if you are rescheduled due to weather you will need to check in 45 minutes prior to your tour. If you are not sure of the drive time to the heliport where your tour is scheduled to depart please call 1.800.745.2583 and we will be happy to help. Allow adequate time for the full experience. Weather and other factors can sometimes effect the tour take off and return times so you will not want to schedule another activity immediately following your tour or too close to your departing flight. Allow a little cushion. Also, most guests like to spend a few minutes taking a photo with the pilot in front of the helicopter, checking out the gift store and purchasing their inflight video so you won’t want to rush off. Relax and enjoy your total experience.
